This Norwegian Wood Cocktail is fruity and delicious! Post may contain affiliate links.
One of my favorite times of the year is when the stores are overflowing with berries. All the summer berries you could want. As the strawberries start to fade out, they are replaced with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. I’m using them in everything from smoothies to salads and especially cocktails! Fruit and alcohol are a match made in heaven. Think of Homemade Orange Liqueur and Dark Cherry Liqueur. Whenever I see fruit, I invariably want to preserve it in some form of alcohol. But if you want your fruity alcohol goodness right now, then this Norwegian Wood Cocktail is perfect!
I found this cocktail in the charming Sweet Paul Eat and Make: Charming Recipes and Kitchen Crafts You Will Love by Paul Lowe. I love Sweet Paul – I get the magazine as a PDF download for my iPad and it’s tied with Donna Hay as my favorite foodie magazine. He’s also incredibly crafty and I love his photography skills! He also makes a mighty fine cocktail. This recipe couldn’t be simpler. You basically muddle some berries with some rosemary, add a little simple syrup (I used my Thyme Simple Syrup), some vodka and top with ginger ale. Easy peasy and oh-so-delicious!
Ingredients
- 4 oz simple syrup
- 6 raspberries
- 10 blueberries
- 4 blackberries
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/2 cup vodka
- Ginger Ale
Instructions
- Divide the berries and the rosemary between two old-fashioned glasses and muddle.
- Add ice to the glasses and then divide the lime juice, simple syrup and vodka in half between the glasses. Stir. Top with the ginger ale.

Love all the fresh berries this time of year! My wife was just looking for local pick your own berry places today, in fact. Our rosemary is looking very good – I don’t think I’ve used any in a cocktail yet. Sounds delisch!
This sounds great!! I love all the fruit in it and I’m a big fan of rosemary in cocktails. Next time I go berry crazy at the store, I’ll have to try this out. I’ve been on such a berry binge lately 🙂
What a beautiful drink! Tomorrow I’m taking my family berry picking, so I’ll have to have my mixologist (aka hubby) make me one of these tomorrow night!
